Chapter 114: Surprise
The power of the ironclad train pushed the military train, and the front of the military train did not start, but only released the brakes.
Reversing at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour, this speed is very slow, knowing that the pulled goods have been unloaded.
In each carriage, there were several light machine guns, and the fighters of the reconnaissance company, plus the light machine guns of the second and third battalions, did not carry the heavy machine guns.
After all, when retreating, the heavy machine gun was still a bit cumbersome, and this was a Type 92 heavy machine gun, which used a 30-round ammunition plate, and it was better to use a light machine gun with a crooked handle.
Several people take turns firing to keep the fire continuous, and at the same time, it is relatively simple to reload, and there are also pistols of the reconnaissance company as supplementary firepower.
In this way, the train slowly retreated north, and the enemy was also a frying pot at this time.
……
At the specified time, the train did not pass through the scheduled station, so Taiyuan was very worried about this.
immediately contacted the Ishii United, and Ishii Daizo was also worried at this time, so it only stopped for a few days?
However, with the escort of ironclad trains, how can the Eighth Route Army fight military trains?
Picking up railroad tracks?
The ironclad train will patrol once and then hang with the military train to move at a slow pace, and the searchlight should be able to detect what is ahead!
So, he hurriedly contacted the brigade in charge of guarding the railway, and ordered them to go out in groups, and be careful to prevent the enemy from ambushing.
There are about 1,100 people in a brigade of devils, and after setting off, they are also extremely careful to advance along the railway line, so the speed is not fast.
If He Jiaming didn't understand where he was, then it would take a few disappearances to encounter, but He Jiaming drove the train north and walked in the direction of the enemy, so he naturally met faster.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, the captain of the devil brigade rode on his horse, and in the middle of the brigade, the whole brigade was lit with torches.
"Woo woo woo ......" suddenly came from the front of the whistle.
"Stop!" The captain of the group on his horse immediately gave the order to stop his advance, and then listened intently.
"Clang, clang......" the sound of rails crashing.
"Your Excellency Captain, is the military column back?" A squadron member beside him asked.
"I don't know, but if they drive back, then we've completed the mission, get ready, and send someone to tell them to stop!"
"Hey!"
A signal soldier rode forward, and soon saw the column, and he reined in his mount and waited for the front of the carriage to arrive.
It's just that the train is from the people around him, if he sees the scorched black marks on the train, and there are a lot of single holes, his heart is cold, is this an ambush?
When the front of the car arrived, he rode parallel to the front of the car and looked into the cab, but there was no one.
He was slightly stunned, spoke slightly, and then parallel to the ironclad train, "stop, stop, stop......"
The signal soldier rode a war horse and shouted outside, and He Jiaming in the car saw him early in the morning, "Qian Ming, open the door and ask!" ”
"Yes!"
Qian Ming opened the car door, "Which part are you from?" ”
"The Railway Garrison Brigade belongs to the Ishii Wing, and we have been ordered to come to meet you!"
"Got it, let's stop now!" Qian Ming replied, and then closed the door, but the door still had to be pulled by hand, after all, the deadbolt was gone.
After Qian Ming closed the door, he turned to He Jiaming and said, "The enemy's brigade is in front!" ”
"Okay, get ready to park!" After He Jiaming saw the enemy's signal soldiers riding away at an accelerated pace, he opened the car door again, pulled the handrail and leaned out sideways, and looked ahead, not far away A column of fire dragons was very easy to identify.
"Slow down, fire at my command!" He Jiaming shouted into the car, their gunfire is the signal, and the doors of all cargo boxes will open at the same time!
"Boom ......" bursts of steam were released, which instantly diffused, and the speed of the train became slower and slower, "crunch......"
Stopped, "Fire!" ”
He Jiaming gave an order, and the ironclad train faced the enemy's side, and several machine guns immediately opened fire.
The captain of the devil is observing the traces on the train, which is obviously ambushed!
"Da Da Da ......" The sudden gunfire caught them off guard, and at this moment, "Boom ......"
The doors of all the carriages opened, and the "da-da......" instantly became a burst of gunfire, and the devils with torches became the best targets.
Moreover, the distance between the two sides was too close, and the automatic fire did not need to be aimed, and the strafing fire was carried out directly, especially the captain of the devil brigade, as far as he and the signal corps were on horse, so that they directly became the target of the reconnaissance company.
You know, the reconnaissance company is all here, using shell guns as supplementary firepower, while machine guns are only responsible for strafing, and pistols are spot fire.
As soon as the door was opened, many soldiers of the reconnaissance company saw a huge target, and several shell guns were aimed at the captain of the devil brigade and smashed it into a sieve.
The devil has a brigade, a column of two people in a row, with a squadron as a unit, its heavy weapons are at the rear, its column length is limited, and the fighters in a few carriages behind the train do not see the enemy as soon as they open the door.
So, he jumped down directly and set up a machine gun directly under the carriage, "da......"
The battlefield was not chaotic, after all, the enemy was under their noses, they did not have time to react, and even simply took the rifle off their shoulders and were subsequently knocked out.
After the first round of machine gun fire, the machine gunner got out of the way, and the next few machine guns immediately filled in and continued to strafe at the devils who had fallen below, which was too brutal!
He Jiaming finally gave the order to stop shooting, and the ironclad train men were on fire, and then He Jiaming took out his pistol and jumped down, "Ceasefire!" ”
He could only shout at the top of his voice, and the fighters needed to pass the orders one by one, "ceasefire, ceasefire......
The gunfire slowly subsided to fetch it, and the devil lay on the ground, some torches had already set the devil's clothes on fire, but the corpse could not have reacted.
"Check the battlefield, be careful, remember to replenish the gun!"
"Yes!"
The fighters of the reconnaissance company began to inspect with pistols, picked up the torches of the devils, carried out rifles from time to time, and then cleaned the battlefield.
Most of the enemy's pack horses were killed, after all, it was indiscriminate fire coverage, and a large number of automatic weapons were engaged in close strafing.
The enemy lined up in columns, did not take down their weapons at all, and there was not the slightest cover around, and they were beaten by surprise.
"Collect weapons and equipment and put them all in the car!" He Jiaming was not in a hurry, because it was impossible for the enemy to reinforce again, unless the train from Taiyuan would bring the enemy's troops ......
[Huh? He Jiaming was suddenly stunned when he thought of this, it was impossible for the enemy to just send a large number of troops, they knew that the new regiment was powerful, and there must be troops coming.
And the devils in the Lucheng area can't move now, but what about the devils in Taiyuan?
